I've looked at a few threads but I've never understood how the four wheel drive conversion works completely, could you explain to me why you needed a new gear box and any other relevant stuff ? And what parts did you get your car off ? R32 mk5 ? S3 8P ?
here in greece they give you the option to go also with you dsg the initial from the factory,but must be adjusted,meaning change alot of stuf and modification...i didnt like to modificate the initial...i sold it and move on to more preferable stronic becuase i knew that is better in ecu later for not slipping...
i run 68 kg of torgue now ...the oem dsq250 of gti can handle till max 60 kg and this reinforced..
from oem the dsq 250 of gti 5 can handle only to 52 kg and every 6 months new oem disks,,,,,,the stronic goes even 80 kg as reinforced and we are talking the year of 2012.not a lot guys from tuning knew which is working and which not....the dynodrome by salias knew....at least here in greece,which i went and stayed there till now from etuners before since 2010,,,
,from r32 i bought the back part which is aluminium and not iron as s3 to gain more lightness from there..tranfer s3,second gas tank r32,abs ecu s3.. i belong to the guys which doesnt like to experiment....i prefer things which give sure result...my mechanic is specialist in awd and knows what is best...i was the ten car which become awd from him so i have records of good jobs.
